After parking the car, Mark walked into the living room. He didn't seem surprised that everyone was still waiting there. He smiled at the two Stevens and said, "I think you two want to know the results of my afternoon work with Bruce. .”

Mary looked at Mark's expression and thought about it. When he was at school, he told Tony that all the required testing items would take about three days to complete, but now he behaves like he has discovered something?Judging by his appearance, he should have discovered something critical to treating Steven?

The two Stevens nodded at the same time. After looking at each other, they looked directly at Mark and said nothing.

A smile formed on the corner of Mark's mouth.

Bruce took one look at Mark, took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, and said, "Hey Mark, you'd better keep your nose open and tell them!"

Mark nodded and said to them: "Because of Bruce's help, I did a preliminary screening and comparison of the blood samples of the two of you in the afternoon. I have to say that we didn't expect to find anything. However, after checking The results surprised me and Bruce, the blood composition of st001 and st002 do have a different substance, we temporarily call that substance c."

"So, is this what influenced him? Made him a child?" "Steven" asked with raised eyebrows.

Bruce shook his head and said, "No, substance c can only be regarded as a secretion. It belongs to the culprit who really controlled Steven's body, the unknown substance."

Everyone here didn't quite understand, so no one said anything.

"To put it simply, substance C is a lubricant used to transmit information. We currently guess that its function should be to circulate in the blood, so that the unknown substance can pass through every cell in the body through the circulation. , in a short time.” Mark said.

Steven was silent for a while, and said, "Then, the original serum in my body..."

Mark smiled and said, "Don't worry, it still exists, but it's blocked by substance c, um, it's like the signal of a mobile phone is blocked."

"Steven" nodded and said, "It seems that Hydra's technology is very different from my world."

"Really?" Mark said with interest, "So, what's the difference?"

"The Hydra in this world seems to... love to do some weird research on human genes." "Steven" replied.

Steven glanced at him and said, "Why do I feel lucky from your words!?"

"Steven" turned his head, laughed, and said, "You heard me right."

"Dad." Mary looked at Mark and said, "Have you done all the required inspections?"

"Of course, no." Mark smiled. "It is precisely because we didn't complete all the projects that we discovered Substance C. This makes me and Bruce very happy, doesn't it? Bruce?"

Bruce nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's right. Although we haven't found the real culprit for Steven's rejuvenation, the current situation is still very optimistic." He looked at Steven, who was in a child state, " Don't worry, Mark will fix you."

Steven nodded and said curtly, "Thank you, Bruce." Turning his head, he said to Mark, "Thank you."

Mark smiled and said: "Actually, we should thank you both. To be honest, I have always been very interested in the serum of super soldiers. It is a great honor to be able to test the blood sample by myself, and it is not a copy."

After hearing this, Steven was silent for a while, and asked, "I have a question about my serum."

Mark raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

"Hydra stole a copy of my serum, what do you think they might do with it?" Steven asked.

Bruce frowned and said, "Stole your serum?"

"Yes, in fact, I don't know about the existence of this serum. After it was preserved by a person named Pascal, it has been secretly researched." Steven said.

"Pascal? Hey, you're not talking about the Pascal in Tony's company, are you?" Bruce frowned even tighter.

Steven was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "It's him." He looked at Bruce and then at Mark, "Although we all know that the biggest possibility is that Hydra wants to replicate the super soldier's serum, But, judging from the fact that they came to Seattle to arrest me after stealing my serum, it's obviously not that simple!"

Mark touched his face with an expression of "this is really a problem", while Bruce stared at Steven without opening his mouth.

Steven said with a serious face: "If you look at this issue from an expert's point of view, what do you think Hydra is going to do?"

Mark shrugged and said: "Hey, maybe the problem is not that serious. Generally speaking, even if you have your serum, you may not be able to research the secret of your successful transformation. Bruce, you have studied it for a long time, haven't you ?”

Thinking of his past research, Bruce smiled wryly, and said, "That's right, not only did the research fail, but I almost lost myself."

"So, relax, Steven, the matter may not be as serious as you think. In my opinion, serum alone is useless. They came to arrest you, obviously they need a physical research sample, don't they?"

Steven nodded and said, "I know what you mean, but with what I know about Hydra, I don't think they're that simple."

"Perhaps, this information should be told to Tony." Bruce said slowly, "We don't have any spare manpower here to investigate Hydra."

"Steven" smiled and said, "Perhaps I can help?"

Bruce took one look at him and said, "Hey, you forgot you promised us you'd be in Seattle while we're doing research?"

Hearing this, "Steven" shrugged and said, "Okay, sorry, I did forget."

"Tony can handle your concerns properly." Bruce looked at Steven and said, "We'll find that as soon as possible to make you into this ghostly thing."

Mark looked at Steven with his hands behind his back, then looked at "Steven" and said, "I agree with Bruce, we have made good progress today, at least it has proved the blood sample comparison I said, yes One direction in the right direction and we'll fix you, Steven!"

Steven hesitated to speak, and finally nodded silently.

Night, Mary's room.

Steven sat on the windowsill, staring blankly at the dark night sky outside the window.

"Would you like a drink?" came the voice of "Steven" from behind.

Steven turned his head and saw that he was holding a bottle of beer in his hand, and turned back blankly and said, "I'm a kid now."

"Oh, that's a pity." "Steven" said teasingly, "Hey, I remember Bucky and I used to steal a drink when we were kids. At that time, we probably"

"Eleven," Steven said.

"That's right!" "Steven" walked to the bed, leaned against the wall and looked out the window, "It seems that the two of us are not completely different."

"Really? Maybe!" Steven was obviously not interested in chatting. He turned around and wanted to jump off the window ledge, but was stopped by "Steven" and he looked up.

"Steven" stared at him, the slight teasing expression disappeared from his face, and he said softly, "Hey, Steven!"

Steven frowned slightly and remained silent.

"I envy you." "Steven" said quietly, "Do you know why?"

Steven looked back at him and said, "Because of Bucky?"

"It's not just Bucky." "Steven" put the bottle on the window sill, smiled and said, "You have more than me."

Steven thought for a moment, then said, "You mean...you lost..." He didn't go on.

"That's right, I lost... I lost everyone we knew, it felt like when I was rescued, I faced a world that no longer belonged to me..." "Steven" said slowly , "I think, you should understand what I mean."

Steven is silent, yes, he understands, because they are Steven Rogers, after being rescued from the frozen fighter plane, waking up to face the United States no longer at war, but 70 years later Their loved ones are old, and they face a new and strange world.He was thinking, watching "Steven" silently staring out of the window, and said for a long time, "What happened in your world?"

"A war." "Steven" said, "a war in which there is no suspense in winning or losing, but you must fight back to the end."

Steven looked at him, sighed, and said, "Sorry."

"You don't have to be sorry to me, maybe, this just hasn't happened yet." "Steven" smiled lightly, "I have been wandering in this world for a long time, obviously, the time here is different from that of mine. The world is different."

"Really?" Steven looked at him thoughtfully, "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"Maybe?" "Steven" shrugged pretending not to care, took a sip from the bottle, and said, "I've been through it, I hope you won't be like me."

Steven was silent, stared at him for a long time, and said, "So, all the Avengers you mentioned are dead, yes, really."

"Steven" smiled and said, "No, I was just teasing you, don't take it seriously." After finishing speaking, he walked to the bedside with the wine bottle and asked, "Do you want to sleep here or that?" A camp bed?"

Steven was silent.

"Don't talk? So you want to sleep on the camp bed?" "Steven" smiled and said, "Oh, it seems so, thank you, I think I will sleep in sweetheart's bed, very comfortable!"

"Damn it! Steven Rogers!" Steven shouted very loudly, staring at the laughing "Steven", speechless, this guy was deliberately teasing him!Plus, it feels weird to call yourself by your own name that way!

"Okay, actually we two can sleep together." "Steven" said with a smile, "Come on, it's getting late, don't squat on the window sill, I won't do such things after I was five years old."

"I'm five now!" Steven said.

"Steven" was startled, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay! Anyway, if you don't come to sleep, then..." You know, I will occupy this bed!

Steven jumped off the windowsill, walked to the bed and looked at him, and asked, "In that world...is there Mary?"

"Steven" glanced at him and said, "What do you think?"

Steven dragged his shoes and climbed onto the bed, and said, "Well, now I think that you are indeed worse than me, and I should be thankful that I have everything."

"Steven" twitched the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard the words, and he thought silently: I shouldn't have spoken so harshly when I was young, right?Damn, can I beat myself up on this one?

Steven quickly covered the cup and lay down, occupying two-thirds of the bed, and turned his head to smile at him.

"Steven" looked at Steven who was lying sideways like a crab. After a long time, he took a thin quilt from the bed and turned to the camp bed beside the bed. He said lightly, "Good night!"
